The Republican Governors Association (RGA) slammed Hillary Clinton’s ex-spokesman and CNN political contributor Brian Fallon in a statement on Saturday after Fallon derisively claimed Virginia Republican gubernatorial candidate Ed Gillespie was a white supremacist.
“Brian Fallon’s attack on Ed Gillespie is shameful, disgraceful, and has no place in American politics,” said RGA Chairman Governor Scott Walker. “Ralph Northam, Hillary Clinton and CNN should immediately denounce Fallon’s blatant attempt to score political points from a tragedy, and CNN should question whether it serves the network and the viewing public well by giving a microphone to Fallon’s hateful rhetoric.”
Fallon claimed that Gillespie was a white supremacist in a tweet on Friday.
Earlier this week, Democrats sent out a flier with President Donald Trump and Gillespie’s images with a picture of the alt-right “Unite the Right” rally that took place in August in Charlottesville, VA, that read, “On Tuesday, November 7th, Virginia Gets to Stand Up…To Hate.”
The Richmond Times-Dispatch condemned the Democrats, writing in an editorial, “That isn’t merely a reach. It’s practically libel.”
“Gillespie has repeatedly and passionately condemned white supremacists and other creatures that have crawled out from under the alt-right rock,” the Times-Dispatch added. “Linking him to them requires the following absurd logic: (1) Donald Trump said some stupid things about Charlottesville. (2) Trump is a Republican. (3) Gillespie is a Republican. (4) Therefore, Gillespie supports racial hate.”

girlie boys whine, men throw fist.
Identify every last Castro c-—sucking Communist or national socialist democrat.
Demand that Robert ‘sheets’ Byrd (D-KKK)’s name be removed from every last tribute.
Gillespie is not a Left Democrat therefore to wit ergo and thus he is a White Supremacist. On that scale there are only two kinds of people- Democrats and White Supremacists.
They also have zero sense of humor. They can be sent off on intellectual tirades and tangents by the simple use of simple puns.
Said what?
CNN - Crappy News Network: where Republicans are Racists and we don’t talk about Democrats scandals - especially Clinton’s friends deaths.
Ed Gillespie is a moderate RINO. He’s definitely not a white supremacist.
I think the commentator is claiming that when Gillespie’s campaign or allied groups use gangs and crime as an emotional wedge issue in the Karl Rove tradition, that defines him as a “white supremacist”.
So this person has to make the emotional argument to counter Gillespie’s emotional argument.
Politics is so pathetic.
“Fallon’s attack on Ed Gillespie is shameful, disgraceful, and has no place in American politics,” said RGA Chairman Governor Scott Walker
Wha?
“...Fallon’s attack on Ed Gillespie is shameful, disgraceful, and has no place in American politics,” said RGA Chairman Governor Scott Walker”
You were attributing the quotation to Walker when it was actually the Richmond Times Dispatch.
Go to the original editorial and read it again.
You seem more interested in smearing Walker than discussing what was said. It was the editorial that used the term “ Donald Trump said some stupid things about Charlottesville. (2) Trump is a Republican. (3) Gillespie is a Republican. (4) Therefore, Gillespie supports racial hate.”
No. I was referring to the title. Go back and readt, to use your term
Another day; another round of CNN fake news.
He’s Fallon and he can’t get up.
